Smile: Photos from the Park

As the weather gets nicer and we all kick off our shoes to play in the grass, I thought we’d dedicate this month’s Instagram Park Pics to all of us who use them. North Brooklyn parks deserve a lot of love as we are anything but gentle with them–the young and old gather in our parks for festivals and concerts, picnics, yoga, baseball, soccer and other sports, parties and reunions, afternoon strolls with babies and late night strolls with lovers. Tis the season, get outside and enjoy the green!
